Radium Terrors, The

Sensational mystery thriller, very popular in its day, about the harmful and curative properties of radium, with a "Yellow Peril" villain reminiscent of Fu Manchu (but Japanese) who has stolen radium to further his sinister plot. Combining the Yellow Peril threat with the contemporary fascination over the powers of radium, this was a possible precursor to the Fu-Manchu stories.
